Marynelle and family. We were sorry to hear about Bill passing
but know the two of you must have had a good life together. I
guess God knows when to call us home. God Bless you and
family.
Mr Roberson, you showed me Coffee Ridge apples and Lost Cove a lifetime ago..... both became mainstays in my life. Godspeed Sir
My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you mourn the loss of Bill. I have many fond memories of him as a great dad to Anne, Craig and Brian and as a leader in his church. Heaven's a little better off today.

We are only on this earth for such a short time and
it was lovely to share that time with Bill! I know
he loved his family and was a devoted Christian. We
will miss him dearly. His journey continues with
his Lord and Savior and one day we will rejoice
when we meet again in heaven. May the Lord be with
you as you heal from his loss. Love to you Nikki
and Duncan Pont
